2. Sai Niwas
St Martin Road an ancient hallowed bungalow beckons you. It’s the ancestral abode of late Govind Raghunath Dabholkar alias ‘Hemadpant’, the author of the sacred book ‘Shri Sai Satcharita’.
What sets this structure ( built in 1911 ) apart from the others and makes it special is the fact that it has been graced by Shirdi Sai Baba himself. “ One early morning in 1917 Hemadpant had a vision. Sai Baba appeared to him in his dream in the form of a well-dressed Sanyasi, woke him up and said he would come home for meals that day.
When Hemadpant opened the door he saw two men Ali Mahomed and Moulana Ismu Mujavar. They apologized for disturbing them during lunch and handed over a packet wrapped in an old newspaper. After the two left Hemadpant uncovered the packet and saw, to his great wonder and surprise, a big nice picture of Sai Baba.
Hemadpant couldn’t control his tears. The picture was placed on the central seat reserved for the special guest and offered the Naivedya. This way Baba visited Sai Niwas in 1917 “, reveals one of the volunteers.
The main hall of the bungalow is where a splendid idol of Sai Baba (known as dnyan murthi ) is placed. Devotees who visit Sai Niwas are given a leaflet containing sai mantras along with a rosary. “ People chant the verses and meditate.
On May 28, 1996, Sadguru Shree Aniruddha Bapu who had been visiting Sai Niwas since 1993, asked for these items from Shri Appa Dabholkar, grandson of Hemadpant. Appa Dabholkar fondly recounts the historic occasion when he, his wife and their children witnessed Bapu reveal himself in the form of Shri Sainath, no sooner than the three belongings were handed back to him.

FIRST FLOOR And the Sanctum Sanctorum is on the ground floor, where the Digvijay Ishtika has been installed on July 10, 2003 (Ashadhi Ekadashi).

Bapu’s, Nandamaai’s and Suchitdada’s blessings, the untiring efforts of the volunteers and bhaktas, and the good wishes of lakhs of bhaktas together, takes pride in flaunting itself as the Shaktipeeth of the whole world.
-KSHEMKUMBH : There are three other places in this Atulit Bal Dham, which are of extraordinary importance. One is the Kshemakumbh, is not just a well, but a holy place in itself. land of Atulit Bal Dham is the land of Shesha
When the water of the well was tested by the Water Department, it was certified to be of the highest quality. Many bhaktas take home this water as ‘Tirtha’ (Holy water). The water from this Kshemakumbha is used for the garden, vegetable patch etc. of Atulit Bal Dham. Yet, till date, this Kshemakumbh is always completely full.
-AUDUMBAR : The place in front of this ‘Kshemakumbh’ is Saint Namdev Maharaj’s Audumbar tree.
-TULSI VRINDAVAN : The next place is the Tulasi Vrindavan in front of the entrance, the place of Saint Janaabai. When we make pradakshinas (circumambulate) around the Audumbar tree, i.e. the place of Namdev Maharaj, we experience distinct waves of joy in our hearts. Similarly at the Tulsi Vrindavan i.e. Saint Janabai’s place, we get a feeling of happiness. In both these places, the bhaktas can sense the presence of these Great Saints’ Nirgun state, in a heightened state of devotion.
Utsavs (festivities) celebrated at Atulit Bal Dham : ‘Hanuman Jayanti’, i.e. the worship of Ashwattha Hanumant Idol and Panchakumbhabhishek. And for the entire day, the mantra ‘Om Shri Ramadootaya, Hanumantaaya Mahaapraanaaya Mahaabalaaya Namo Namah’ is chanted and abhishek is offered by the bhaktas and Satsang is held.

2. Sai Niwas
The ancestral home of the Dabholkars, in Bandra.
St Martin Road an ancient hallowed bungalow beckons you. It’s the ancestral abode of late Govind Raghunath Dabholkar alias ‘Hemadpant’, the author of the sacred book ‘Shri Sai Satcharita’.
What sets this structure ( built in 1911 ) apart from the others and makes it special is the fact that it has been graced by Shirdi Sai Baba himself. “ One early morning in 1917 Hemadpant had a vision. Sai Baba appeared to him in his dream in the form of a well-dressed Sanyasi, woke him up and said he would come home for meals that day.
It was Holi and during lunch time the leaves were spread and arranged with 'rangoli' marks around them and all the members of the family sat for lunch. As the anna-shuddhi (ghee) was served footsteps in the staircase were distinctly heard.
When Hemadpant opened the door he saw two men Ali Mahomed and Moulana Ismu Mujavar. They apologized for disturbing them during lunch and handed over a packet wrapped in an old newspaper. After the two left Hemadpant uncovered the packet and saw, to his great wonder and surprise, a big nice picture of Sai Baba.

Devotees who visit Sai Niwas are given a leaflet containing sai mantras along with a rosary. “ People chant the verses and meditate.
As the story goes, Shirdi Sai Baba had given one of His devotees, Govind Raghunath Dabholkar, alias Hemadpant, three of His personal belongings for safekeeping before taking samadhi in 1918, with a promise that He would, in around 80 years’ time, return to reclaim it. The belongings were a small trident (trishul), a rosary (rudraksha mala) and a precious stone (shaaligram).
On May 28, 1996, Sadguru Shree Aniruddha Bapu who had been visiting Sai Niwas since 1993, asked for these items from Shri Appa Dabholkar, grandson of Hemadpant. Appa Dabholkar fondly recounts the historic occasion when he, his wife and their children witnessed Bapu reveal himself in the form of Shri Sainath, no sooner than the three belongings were handed back to him.
